Notices: Term 2, Week 9

 Kia Ora Whanau!

This week we spent a day in the new classrooms.  It was awesome to be given the chance to think about how we might set the room up for our Tamariki and how we can best use the space.  It’s now 2 weeks until we move in.  Keep your eyes peeled for the opening ceremony details as you are welcome to join.

Baby Photos

We loved looking at all the baby snaps and guessing who is who.  Below is the cutest album you are ever going to see, enjoy!

Hey Baby!

Matariki

Week 9 is going to be a celebration of Matariki the Maori New Year.  Keep you eyes peeled for snaps on HERO.

Ice Skating

This week you were sent a link to share your child’s shoe size for ice skating.  If you have not completed that form please do so.  

So you can start getting things organised your child will need:

- Warm clothing

- Waterproof jacket

- Waterproof pants

- Warm socks (please make sure these are long socks so that the top of the skate doesn't chafe the skin)

- Gloves

- Named Helmet (these are also provided at the rink)

Please see below for the ice skating timetable.

We are edging closer and cannot wait!  Just incase you missed the link in the Newsletter T1 will become Room 1 and T2 will become Room 2.

Check out where we will be situated next term.

We are edging closer to the move and in preparation for that the next few weeks are going to be big. Please try to empty school bags out on the regular as we will be sending all art home over the coming weeks. We need to have T1 and T2 empty apart from furniture by the end of term.

The Birdlife Park was a hit, a HUGE and sincere thank you for making this possible.  We will post some snaps to HERO so keep your eyes peels.

Emails and Newsletters

We know that the emails that can come from school can and do have alot of information in them so we do try to keep them to a minimum.  We do however ask that you please read them as well as the school Newsletters as there is alot of information in them that you need to know.  We often get emails sent to us with questions that have already been answered in one or both of those places.

Library Books

Mrs Gillan our Libarian is busy stocktaking and preparing to move the entire Library into the awesome new space.  She has asked that we do not issue anymore books this term.  It would be awesome if you could start sending all Library books in over the next 3 weeks.  We are storing these in T2.
